I tested B on the 26 phonograms of the alphabet + 4 multi-letter phonograms. He missed at least one sound for 'g', 's', 'i', 'u', & 'y'.  I also tested S on the 26 phonograms of the alphabet. He missed at least one sound for 'g', 's', 'qu', 'u', & 'y'.
D surprised me when I went to tell him the sounds for 'c' and before I could he said /c/, /s/, which are the two sounds that C makes. He is also learning the four sounds of A, which are /ă/, /ā/, /ah/, & /aw/.

The boys started Language Arts this week, in addition to their math. I am using Rigg's Writing Road to Reading for their Phonics/Spelling instruction and McGuffey's Readers for their Reading instruction. B will be in McGuffey's Second Eclectic Reader 1836 and S will be using McGuffey's Pictorial Primer (New First Eclectic Reader for Little Children 1857).

D surprised me this morning by being able to draw a line from the picture to the number in his math. I didn't know that he could do that, but I have to say that he doesn't understand the concept of drawing a circle yet. He was particularly cute when he took his time to put each bug sticker onto a leaf and then we spent almost ten minutes on his folding project, because he would open it and I would say "sad/crying" and then he would fold it and I would say "happy/laughing". Even though he drew the lines from the pictures to the numbers in his math, when it came time to draw water coming from the hose in his coloring, he just drew water on each of the children and around the hose.

Yesterday only S & B did schoolwork, and in the afternoon we went to our sister's house so that the boys could play with their cousin in the pool.
